The NTcyber Story

Rooted in Technical Excellence since 2015.

Based in Lanarkshire, NTcyber is built on a decade of network and security infrastructure experience. Starting as NisbetTeknology in 2015, a sub-contract CCTV, alarms and networking business, we evolved in 2020 into NTcyber (the NT comes from the original name) to meet the growing cybersecurity crisis facing small businesses.

We realised that modern businesses don't just need software—they need human-led strategy. We bridge the gap between complex enterprise standards and local business reality.

NTcyber is run by David Nisbet, an independent security consultant and engineer. See the portfolio for background and projects.

Knowledge Base

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical cyber audit take?
For most small businesses, the initial audit takes 1-3 business days. This includes policy review, technical scans, and an on-site visit if required. We then deliver the full roadmap within 48 hours.
Does an audit guarantee we won't be hacked?
No one can guarantee 100% security. An audit finds and closes the common, easily exploited weaknesses that most attacks on small businesses rely on, and gives you a clear plan for the rest.
Will this satisfy our Cyber Insurance requirements?
Often, yes. Many insurers now ask for evidence of professional security oversight, and our reports provide documentation to support applications and renewals. Requirements differ between insurers, so we check your policy wording and map our findings to it.
What is the difference between an audit and a scan?
A scan is automated and looks for known bugs. An audit is human-led; we look at who has keys to your building, how your staff handle passwords, and if your "secure" backups actually work.
Do you help with Cyber Essentials certification?
Yes. We act as your pre-submission consultants: we find the gaps that would cause you to fail, help you fix them, and prepare you for the official assessment, which is carried out by an accredited certification body.
Is my business too small for an audit?
If you handle customer data or take payments, you aren't too small. Cyber criminals target small businesses precisely because they often lack professional security oversight.
Do we need to buy new hardware after an audit?
Not necessarily. Often, we find that existing hardware is simply misconfigured. Our goal is to secure your current environment first before recommending capital expenditure.
How often should we have an audit?
We recommend a full audit annually, with smaller "health checks" every 6 months or whenever you make significant changes to your IT infrastructure.
